SSC CGL - 20 July 2023 - Shift 3 • English • Q18

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.

Was the conference not attended by them?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Did they not attend the conference?

  • This sentence places the subject "they" before the verb "attend," making it an active construction.
  • It directly indicates the action of the subject (they) performing the verb (attend) on the object (the conference).
  • The other options either use incorrect verb forms or do not rearrange the sentence to make it active.

Therefore, "Did they not attend the conference?" is the correct choice for expressing the sentence in active voice.
